A long decimal number can be smaller in value than a short decimal number (ie. 0.22222222 > 0.9).-That multiplication/division of a decimal number that is less than 1 by a whole number should result in a smaller/larger number than the original whole number. (ie. 0.5 x 2 =1; the answer 1 is a number that is less than 2-the original whole number) ................
